Hi, I was having a discussion with my friends about vodka, and I remember hearing somewhere that vodka(in apure form) is turned into whiskey. Or during the whiskey prosess it starts as vodka.

Is this true?

Thanks

Dear Sir/Madam

I am working on behalf of Drinkaware.co.uk, a charity which promotes responsible drinking and aims to reduce alcohol misuse and minimise alcohol-related harm. I sent an email to you previously concerning the possibility of working together to raise awareness.

I would like to enquire about sponsoring one of your articles. Currently we are trying to direct users to our alcohol facts and information pages: http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/facts/alcohol-facts-and-information/what-is-alcohol

Let me know your thoughts on the above, along with any other ideas you may have. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Kind Regards

Hanna

Well, I’ve done some research on the effect of oak on liquor & I believe that the oak extract (I’ve used some myself in some of my blends) not only adds flavour, but also adds the vanillins and tannins from the wood which ‘reacts’ with the volatiles in the liquor, helping to smooth out the end flavour….

So Lanny, I passed then on to Mark Merrick who owns East Bend Liquors and is quite possibly the geekiest spirits nerd I know. He didn’t have the answer, so he passed it on to four others and this is the result: “Three out of the four goofy liquor geeks agree…it is probably for flavor.” So there you go.

I’ve read that ‘Oak bark Extract’ is often added to Mixto or the lower (lowest) grade of Tequila. For what purpose might that be the case? I cannot find info relating to same. Your input, please?
